Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The recent Panama papers scandal brings to mind Sydney Pollack's film Facade (1993): tax havens (the Cayman Islands in the film, Panama in the news), a law firm specializing in in creating offshore companies ("Bendini, Lambert & Locke" on screen, "Mossack Fonseca" in the Panama papers), and a lawyer from the firm who, from the inside, becomes a whistleblower (whistleblower) and leaves expose the illegal activities carried out by the company (including tax fraud and money laundering).
However, beyond its relationship with current events, Fachada offers other interesting ideas: the relationship between ethics and business, between ethics and the family, and, from a more detailed forensic point of view, the relationship between criminality organized and white collar crime (economic crime), and on the use of professionals (lawyers, notaries, brokers) by tax evaders, criminals and gangsters.
